You were everything I wanted

Zuko stared at the man he'd called his father. The previously raging battle of fire, wind, ice, and earth had died down as they stared in shock at Lord Ozai

Come, my son, fight with your family.

Azula chirped up, yes brother, and come join us. We miss you.

Then you left me broken hearted, now you don't mean a thing to me.

Hate is a strong word, but I really really don't like you.

Flashback

Father! Wait, cried 14 year old Zuko. Let me prove myself to you.

Now that is over, I don't even know how to fight you.

Ozai whirled around, fury evident on his face. Prove yourself? Ha, he roared.

You are not my son. He whispered.

Next to him, evil princess Azula regarded coldly, with the beginnings of a smirk playing on her ruby red lips.

Brought you around, and you just brought me down... hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like you.

Zuko dropped to his knees again, his face marred with the brutality of his father's ego.

Thought everything was perfect, isn't that how it's supposed to be. Thought u thought I was worth it, now I think a little bit differently.

All I wanted was ur love love love love..

Please father, please. He begged over and over even after Azula and Ozai had left. A warm rough hand clamped over his shoulder, and Zuko turned his head to see the smiling face of his uncle.

Now now, what do we have here? Asked Iroh

All I wanted was ur love love love love..

End flashback

Zuko looked at Lord Ozai, and looked back at his uncle.

Perhaps this boy had made mistakes in his past, but he knew what to do now.

He stepped next to his uncle and met his father's stare.

Not many people were able to hear what was said next. Aang thought it was a whisper of wind, Sokka thought it was his long lost boomerang flying back to him, while Ty Li thought it was the spirits talking.

But Toph was able to hear it. As clear as Crystal. Whispered softly.

This is my family

Now that it's over you can't hurt me

Now its over you can't bring me down.

Hate is a strong word, but I really really don't like you. Now that is over, I don't even know how to fight you. Brought you around, and you just brought me down... hate is a strong word, but I really really really don't like you.
